Six nodes, one honest line each. Every status names the stage the work has actually reached.
| SYS | Project | What it is | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|
FLYB |
FlyBatch | The fruit fly's sugar-to-feeding circuit (501 neurons, MaleCNS v1.0) in a portable C89 engine with a COBOL batch driver, giving identical golden fingerprints from x86-64 to MVS 3.8j. | v0.5.1-rc.1 for testers. Has not run on IBM Z hardware: MVS under Hercules, s390x under QEMU, on one laptop. |
SCTD |
SuperconducTED | Noise as a range, not a number: interval type-2 TSK fuzzy inference turns IBM calibration snapshots into ensembles of Qiskit Aer noise models. | RESEARCH PREVIEW. Cycle 1 validated the pipeline; trained membership functions are cycle 2. |
CSDR |
Cassandra Collective | Language models for everyday hardware: CASSANDRA (low-hardware LM research), Chorus (sliced mixture-of-experts training), Dervish (a bounded-spectrum Muon-variant optimizer). | Chorus Stage 0 closed as a published negative result (+10.8% bits per character behind centralised at equal compute). Architecture under review. |
OMI |
Open Memory Initiative | An open, reproducible DDR4 UDIMM reference design: power and PDN, command and clock, data lanes, SPD tooling, and the documentation to learn from it. | ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT at schematic stage. Claims never run ahead of validation. Contribute. |
SPDR |
spdr | Read-only DDR5 SPD (JESD400-5) decoder and beyond-CRC semantic linter: no_std, allocation-free, forbid(unsafe_code), a library and a CLI. |
v0.1.1 on crates.io. UDIMM complete; SODIMM, RDIMM and LRDIMM wait for real fixtures. |
EPHS |
Ephesus | An agent company you govern as its architect: a desktop harness that turns the terminal coding CLIs you already pay for into a self-coordinating crew. | PRE-ALPHA, built in public. No releases and no installer; everything runs from source. |
- Müşahit: local-first OSINT briefing pipeline for Turkish news with multi-agent clustering, severity ranking, DuckDB, Ollama and Piper TTS. Operational.
- motus: a transport-agnostic messaging seam for C++17 with a per-backend conformance suite and a Windows-safe AMQP-CPP backend. Released, Apache-2.0.
- aftershock and T-MAC: a message-schema compiler and a simulated urban search-and-rescue command system with deterministic mission verdicts. Fictional scenario, no real hardware.
- zbridge-asm-lab: Go to z/OS interoperability through assembly, z/Architecture calling conventions, ABI boundaries and endianness. Lab.
- crypto-dreamer: a DreamerV3-style BTC/USDT world model with an iTransformer encoder, RSSM core and IQN distributional critic. Research.
The ledger above counts public pull requests in repositories I do not own, refreshed daily from GitHub search. Current threads: zowe/zowe-mcp, zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode, zowe/zowe-cli, microsoft/vcpkg, unitaryfoundation/mitiq, koala73/worldmonitor. Maintainers decide merges; the ledger only reports them.
- 2026 IBM Champion, recognised for advocacy and technical community work. View credential.
- IBM Z Student Ambassador and President of the IBM-Z Club at TED University: connecting enterprise computing practitioners with the next generation of systems engineers.
- Computer Engineering at TED University with a Business Administration minor, expected 2027.

- Documentation first. Architecture decisions are recorded before implementation, in every repository.
- Honest status. Every status line names the stage reached and never beyond. Negative results are published with the same care as positive ones.
- Correctness over speed, especially in embedded, mainframe and hardware-adjacent systems.
- Open-source toolchains. Reproducible environments and inspectable workflows, built in public.
Self-contained SVG artwork; no external fonts, scripts or fetches. Public contribution and pull-request data are regenerated daily by GitHub Actions without a personal access token (the workflow's own token only lifts the search rate limit). Motion plays once and respects reduced-motion preferences. Brand marks belong to their projects. Composition inspired by Avi Vashishta's profile; implementation is original.
